The introduction of this new Ioniq 6 version coincides with a small selection of changes made for the 2024 model year.
The local Ioniq 6 family now starts from AU$65,500 ($42,123) plus on-road costs for the base model equipped with a 53 kWh battery pack and a 111 kW (149 hp) rear-axle motor. This variant has a claimed range of 266 miles (429 km) per charge when equipped with the standard 18-inch wheels. Charging times for this model are approximately 18 minutes from 10% to 80% using a 350 kW charger, 58 minutes using a 50 kW charger, and 8 hours and 55 minutes for a full 10-100% charge using a 7 kW home AC charger.
If customers want a little more power and range, the base Ioniq 6 can be ordered with a 77.4 kWh extended range battery and a 168 kW (225 hp) rear electric motor. This version is rated at 614 km (382 miles) on a charge with 18-inch wheels and 545 km (339 miles) with 20-inch wheels. Its 350 kW DC charging time is the same as the 53 kWh pack, but it takes 73 minutes to charge from 10-80% on a 50 kW charger and 11 hours and 45 minutes to charge from 10-100% on a 7 kW AC charger. This trim level carries a sticker price of AU$71,500 ($45,981).
2024 Hyundai Ioniq 6
The 2024 Hyundai Ioniq 6 will continue to be offered in Dynamiq and Epiq guises. The former has the 77.4 kWh extended range battery working alongside a 168 kW (225 hp) rear engine, giving it the same 614 km (382 miles) range with 18-inch wheels and 545 km (339 miles) with 20-inch wheels.
The Dynamiq can also be ordered with 165 kW (221 hp) front and 74 kW (99 hp) rear motors, although this reduces the range to 519 km (322 miles). The rear-wheel drive Dynamiq starts at AU$77,500 ($49,840), while all-wheel drive will set buyers back a minimum of AU$82,000 ($52,734).
The top of the range is the Ioniq 6 Epiq. It is also offered with the same powertrain configurations as the Dynamiq and is priced from AU$81,000 ($52,091) to AU$85,000 ($54,663). All prices quoted exclude delivery charges and on-road costs.
Key updates across the range include a new battery conditioning system, which is activated in cold climates to heat the battery for charging and improved performance. A heat pump is also standard and the Epiq's controversial digital side mirrors are no longer standard but an AU$3,000 ($1,929) option. The only other option is AU$1,000 ($643) matte paint for the Dynamiq and Epiq.
